Kaolack: the Mbegane Ndour sociocultural center in Kahone inaugurated

The Minister of Urban Planning, Territorial Communities and Regional Planning, Moussa Balla Fofana, inaugurated, on Friday, the Kahone Sociocultural Center, in the Kaolack region. Rehabilitated by the municipality, in partnership with the Local Development Agency (ADL), the infrastructure is intended to strengthen cultural and community activities.

The ceremony took place in the presence of administrative and municipal authorities. For the minister, this achievement goes beyond the simple provision of equipment. “We are not only celebrating the delivery of infrastructure and the deployment of technological equipment. We are sealing a republican pact of territorial equity, modernity and community emancipation,” he declared.

Located in the heart of the commune, the center is named after Buur Saloum Mbegane Ndour, a historical figure of Saloum. Moussa Balla Fofana underlined the symbolic significance of this choice which, according to him, allows us to combine historical heritage and the digital revolution for the benefit of youth and women.

The minister also reaffirmed the State’s commitment to territorial equity. “No territory should be left by the wayside,” he insisted. For her part, the mayor of Kahone, Fatou Sène Diouf, welcomed this achievement which, according to her, will contribute to the enhancement of the cultural heritage of the former capital of Saloum and the revival of the cultural dynamism of the region.
